    @Kaliah Well, I've actually been investigating the UI toolkit they're claiming to be using, and it has accessibility brought by AccessKit, so I have some hope.

    @brynify I would like to hope too, but whenever discord "rebuilds" or "rewrites" or has an "all new" thing, it's usually inaccessible or cluttered obnoxious garbage. So.

    @Kaliah oh yeah, I'm definitely not unworried at all. Definitely an oh fucking shit moment

    @brynify I really hope this GPUI thing, which I have never heard of up to this point, is something that’s actually going to be accessible with screen readers. Is it still going to a WebView in the end or not, because that’s the one part I couldn’t really understand from this article?

    @brynify OK, so it’s one of those fancy GPU accelerated immediate mode UI’s, but the website does say it has accesskit integration, so if Discord decide to do the right thing, they can make it accessible. Hopefully that is going to be the case That would probably make it the largest and most popular project behind Godot, relying on accesskit if this does end up shipping
